About Me

Using a needle and thread for self-expression, I
work to create art that reflects my interest in the concept of time.Memory, universal mortality, and personal
legacy are central themes.Vintage and
recycled materials are combined with meticulous handwork. Stitched text and
free motion machine embroidery add visual and emotional layers. Work is often
exhibited in an installation format in order to better communicate message
through an accessible atmosphere.I am drawn
to textiles for their tactile qualities and often make work that is meant to
touch and be touched.

Sunday at the Licatas and Stronghold Athletic Club

This past Sunday Steve, Mathias, and I went to the Licata's weekend getaway house on Lake Wateree. (Alex had to work.) We got to go out on their boat to admire all the undeveloped lake front shoreline; seeing egrets, herons, turtles, and an otter; and have a lovely dinner of grilled teryaki chicken. It's nice to have such generous, fun friends.

While Mathias has been here, he's been going to Stronghold Athletic Club to work out and stretch...but also to do a little rock climbing. Both boys wanted to do this together but couldn't find the time between the club's hours, other commitments, and Alex's job.
